Motorola Atrix connecting to Motorola Media Link

I have reviewed past post, and can't find the answer..... I have installed the Motorola Media Link on my laptop, successfully loaded all music and play lists from Windows Media Player and iTunes, but I can't get my Atrix to "connect" to the Media Link.

Has this happened to anyone else and what is the fix?

Once again, sorry, if I am re-posting the question! This is my first post!

Other than this problem, I am enjoying the device!

What browser did u download media link with? I dont remember what thread it was under, but i remember reading about issues using chrome to dl files....

J - after connecting the Atrix, my laptop auto launches Motorola Media Link, then I get a pop up that instructs me to check the USB settings, set to Motorola Mobile Portal and hit OK, once I do that, it tries to connect again and then gives me the same pop up message. It is a endless cycle, like a dog chasing it's tail!

I can see the MML screen long enough to see that the results of the (only) previous synch are still there and checked.

Coincidentally (?), my Atrix no longer connects anywhere with a drive letter. The (Windows) Explore shows the removable as "there" but when I click it, it says "Please inser disk into .. .. ." I have to believe they're related.

p.s.- My USB screen now has a "Windows Media Synch" option that I don't remember from before. It this part of the problem?

So, im on my PC. and I opened up Motorola Media Link.
So on my screen right now shows this:

Next what you want to do is connect your atrix to the PC using your official Motorola USB cable with this:

Next, drag down your notification bar and select Windows Phone Portal or USB Mass Storage (I've tried it on both settings and they seem to work for me):
Note: Windows Media Sync seems like the right item to pick, but it wont connect with Media Link. I dont know why, but it seemed the obvious choice.

Back to the media link program on your computer, click Connect:

Its status will change from Connect to "Connecting to Device" followed by this:

Then it should show you are connected like this:

So by now, your atrix is already connected with the Motorola Media Link program on the PC.
You can now sync your music, pictures, video, podcasts, etc.
